In honor of the forthcoming convention of Chabad-Lubavitch shluchim, we herewith offer 3 items related to Chabad which you may have missed:

1) The September edition of New Voices, which they title "The Lubavitch Issue." Our very own Anarchist Rabbi Captain Sholom Keller is featured on the cover with an extensive interview:

2) Tanya in the comix (in the pocket of a Rubashkin yet!), by the talented Eli Valley(http://www.evcomics.com/). See the bottom right frame:

3) A Rubashkin-related story you may not have heard of : A shliach arrested on alleged sex abuse charges with a 13 year old boy:

May Chabad continue with their glorious work until giluy Melech haMoshiach, AMEN!

PS: To the Rebbe-philic cows out there - this is about Chabad, NOT the Rebbe (this time), so do not delete. Unless you consider "Chabad" as synonymous with cyanide & exposure to it (spiritual) suicide…

  A Broken Appointment by Thomas Hardy

You did not come,
And marching Time drew on, and wore me numb.
Yet less for loss of your dear presence there
Than that I thus found lacking in your make
That high compassion which can overbear
Reluctance for pure loving kindness’ sake
Grieved I, when, as the hope-hour stroked its sum,
You did not come.

You love me not,
And love alone can lend you loyalty;
—I know and knew it. But, unto the store
Of human deeds divine in all but name,
Was it not worth a little hour or more
To add yet this: Once you, a woman, came
To soothe a time-torn man; even though it be
You love me not.

It would be funny if it weren't true:

"Baptism of a Jewish Holocaust victim and then merely removing that name from the database is just not acceptable," said Michel, whose parents died at Auschwitz. He spoke on the 70th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the Nazi-incited riots against Jews.

"We ask you to respect us and our Judaism just as we respect your religion," Michel said in a statement released ahead of the news conference. "We ask you to leave our six million Jews, all victims of the Holocaust, alone, they suffered enough."

Read the rest on CNN.

Just got this text from a Chabad Shliach: Oib m'davent MCCEIN efsher PAYLIN az der Aibeshter zol nisht BIDEN der president far A'BHAIMA…!!!!  

Even after I repeatedly tell the same people I'm not interested, they come at you, like Jehovah Witnesses or Meshichists; they swarm you.

Is Facebook a cult?

In the name of R. Gedaliah of Linitz who said in the name of his master the Mokhi’ah [of Polonoya] that the messiah will instruct good merit (melamed zekhut tov) upon all of Israel even upon the wicked, [saying] that they are all righteous, that they are correct (yid. “az zey zenen gerecht”). And because of the merit that he will instruct merit upon them they will return in repentance, and through this they will be redeemed, for in repentance one is redeemed.

And he would say - a little tzadik loves little resha’im, a great tzadik loves great resha’im, but the messiah will love and instruct merit even upon complete resha’im. And anyone who instructs merit upon all creatures is of the aspect of the messiah…   

(Sefer Baal Shem Tov, 61, note 100 in the name of Midrash Pinhas Ha-Hadash)

Maybe this applies to oneself as well. You are the messiah to the extent that you have redeemed yourself through the sweetening of Judgments…

In the final analysis we are all a priori vindicated – the messiah is just the one who takes it all the way…
